In just seven years, the population growth in America will be driven by immigrants more than native-born babies and by 2050 immigration will account for over 80 percent of U.S. population growth, according to new U.S. Census Bureau figures.

A report on the statistics revealed that in 2023, an estimated 1.291 million immigrants will be allowed into the country. That year, native births will drop to 1.279 million.
